NAWG weekend Poetry Course 14th - 16th June
Chris Huck • 27 May 2019
Leeds poet James Nash at the beautiful Wentworth Castle
James says ' I’m a writer, poet and teacher based in Leeds.
I write poetry mostly, though I’ve had stories, memoirs and, as a
journalist, many articles published in newspapers and magazines.
I
have a huge amount of expertise in running writing workshops. This is
solidly supported by my original training as a teacher and subsequently
working in inner-city high schools for many years.
I’m a literary host working at many festivals across the country, getting the best out of writers whom I interview at events.
I
have also edited many collections of young people’s writing as well as
adult work with my most recent being ‘Fourteen Festive Sonnets’ for the
excellent Candlestick Press.'
James is also a performer of his own work and others and teaches spoken word performance skills.
The cost for this course is £205,
which covers Friday and Saturday B&B in single ensuite
accommodation, all tuition, Saturday and Sunday lunch, Saturday dinner,
tea, coffee and biscuits. We meet in the Arched Barn Conference room
next to the residences.
The cost for a non-residential Day Delegate is £105, which covers all tuition, Saturday and Sunday lunch, Saturday dinner, tea, coffee, biscuits.
